New Architecture Writers : “Language Barriers”, Zaha Hadid Foundation 13/07/22

“Language and architecture have a complicated relationship. Criticism, history, news and opinions in print, events, and online all form our thoughts about buildings. Who is heard and how do we listen? Who gets to write about architecture, and who reads this? Who has access to the technical, institutional and conceptual tools to produce and consume it? And what can we do to change these structures?” New Architecture Writers 2021-22
